OpenAI Major Outage

Apparently ChatGPT went from zero to a million users in five days[1], at a cost of "single-digits cents per chat."

For perspective the likes of Instagram and Twitter have take from a few months to a few dozen months to get to a million users all while doing less work to service a request for a "page."

Hats of to OpenAI for not falling over more often under a hug of death that doesn't seem to be letting up.

Come on. OpenAI has been around far longer than ChatGPT. I bet Instagram Stories reached a million users in a matter of minutes.

Also it's fairly common to not be able to use ChatGPT because they're at capacity

FB had quite the infrastructure when Instagram Stories was released... not sure that comparison makes a ton of sense?

I don't think that many people where actually using OpenAI's products directly. Unlike Instagram.
